BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention generally relates to a semiconductor device and a manufacturing method thereof and, more particularly, to a semiconductor device and a manufacturing method thereof which device provides a three-dimensional structure so as to increase a packaging density thereof.

As an electronic apparatus becomes smaller in size, weight and thickness, a semiconductor device used in such an electronic apparatus is required to be smaller in size and thickness. In an attempt to satisfy these requirements, the trend of a semiconductor device package has been shifting from a QFP (Quad Flat Package) for surface mounting in which package terminals are led out in four directions in the shape of a gull wing, to a BGA (Ball Grid Array) having external connection terminals arranged on the bottom of a package in the form of an area array, or to a CSP (Chip Size Package).

Among semiconductor packages like these, a package of a fan-out type is widely used, in which package a semiconductor chip is mounted on a wiring substrate (an interposer) and external connection terminals are arranged around the semiconductor chip by the interposer.

2. Description of the Related Art

FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of a conventional semiconductor device of the fan-out type. In FIG. 1, a semiconductor device 1 mainly comprises a substrate 2, a semiconductor chip 4, solder balls (bumps) 6, and a sealing resin 8. The substrate 2, electrode patterns 10 and a bonding pad 12 compose an interposer. The interposer is used to electrically connect an external electrode and the semiconductor chip 4.

The substrate 2 is formed of such a material as a polyimide resin, a ceramic resin, and a glass-epoxy resin. The substrate 2 has the semiconductor chip 4 mounted on a surface 2 a thereof and also has the electrode patterns 10 formed on the surface 2 a. The semiconductor chip 4 is fixed faceup on the substrate 2 by a DB material (a bonding pad) 5. The electrode patterns 10 are provided by applying a copper film on the substrate 2 and forming the copper film into predetermined patterns by, for example, etching. The electrode patterns 10 are electrically connected to each other by wiring patterns not shown in the figures.

Some of the electrode patterns 10 are consolidated with the bonding pad 12. The bonding pad 12 and an electrode of the semiconductor chip 4 are connected by a wire 14. Thereby, the semiconductor chip 4, the electrode patterns 10 and the bonding pad 12 are electrically connected via the wire 14 and the wiring patterns. The surface 2 a of the substrate 2 is sealed by the sealing resin 8 formed of such a material as an epoxy resin so as to protect the semiconductor chip 4, the wire 14, the bonding pad 5, and the other elements formed on the surface 2 a.

Further, a hole 16 penetrating through the substrate 2 is formed at a position facing each of the electrode patterns 10. The hole 16 is formed by processing the substrate 2 by a laser, a drill or a metal mold, etc.

The solder balls 6 are arranged toward a back surface 2 b of the substrate 2. Each of the solder balls 6 is placed into the hole 16, and is joined to the electrode pattern 10 through the hole 16. That is, each of the solder balls 6 is fixed to the substrate 2 by being fixed to the electrode pattern 10.

As described above, a package structure using an interposer in the semiconductor device 1 has been becoming a mainstream of a semiconductor device package. However, as a semiconductor device has been made to have an even higher density, a packaging area in a semiconductor package including a semiconductor chip has been becoming smaller. Accordingly, a package size of a semiconductor device is made smaller to the extent that a two-dimensional miniaturization of a package structure is supposedly reaching the limit. Therefore, to realize a further miniaturization of a semiconductor device, a three-dimensional (stack) packaging is required. As an example of the three-dimensional packaging, a semiconductor device having connection electrodes on the upper surface of a resin package is provided.

However, in order to provide connection electrodes on the upper surface of a resin package as mentioned above, wires have to be arranged around the resin package, making it difficult to provide the connection electrodes out on the upper surface of the resin package. For example, in a case where a wire connected to an external terminal formed on an interposer is led to the upper surface of the resin package after the formation thereof by being detoured around the outer surface of the semiconductor device so as to avoid the resin package, the wire becomes exposed and thus is likely to be cut, which impairs the reliability of the semiconductor device. Additionally, with this manner of arranging the connection electrodes, the wires become long so as to increase the impedance thereof, making it difficult for the semiconductor device to operate at high speed.

Elements in FIG. 2 to FIG. 18 that are identical to the elements shown in FIG. 1 are referenced by the same reference marks, and will not be described in detail.

In FIG. 2, the semiconductor device 20 mainly comprises the substrate 2, the semiconductor chip 4, the solder balls (bumps) 6, the sealing resin 8, and posts (interconnecting portions) 18. The substrate 2, the electrode patterns 10 and the bonding pads 12 compose an interposer.

Each of the posts 18 is provided in the sealing resin 8. The post 18 is connected to the electrode pattern 10 on one end, and is exposed on an outer surface 8 a of the sealing resin 8 on the other end. The one end (a first connecting portion) of the post 18 is connected to the electrode pattern 10 so as to be electrically connected to the solder ball 6. The other end (a second connecting portion) of the post 18 is exposed on the outer surface 8 a of the sealing resin 8 so as to be capable of being connected to an external terminal of another semiconductor device of the same type. That is, the semiconductor devices can be stacked and combined effectively by the post 18 so as to increase a packaging density of a three-dimensional structure thereof. In addition, wires (including the posts 18) are formed in the sealing resin so as to achieve the shortest wiring, providing a semiconductor device having a simple package structure.

The post 18 is formed, for example, by a high-speed Cu plating method in a post hole 22 formed by such a method as a masking. The sealing resin 8 is formed after the formation of the post 18. Hereinafter, a description will be given in detail of manufacturing processes of the above-described semiconductor device 20.

FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 are illustrations for explaining a manufacturing process of the semiconductor device according to the first embodiment of the present invention. On the substrate 2 shown in FIG. 3, the post holes 22 are formed in a mask 23 so that each of the post holes 22 adjoins the electrode pattern 10 and has the same depth as the thickness of the sealing resin 8 to be formed. The posts 18 are formed by such a method as a high-speed Cu plating. in the post holes 22, as shown in FIG. 4. After the formation of the posts 18, the mask 23 is removed, then metal molds 24 and 25 are arranged on and under the semiconductor device, respectively, and the sealing resin 8 is supplied from an upper opening of the metal mold 24. The above-described process manufactures the semiconductor device 20 shown in FIG. 2.

FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 are illustrations for explaining another manufacturing process of the semiconductor device according to the first embodiment of the present invention. In the semiconductor device shown in FIG. 5, metal molds 26 and 27 are arranged on the surface of the substrate 2 having the semiconductor chip 4 and the back surface thereof, respectively, and the sealing resin 8 is supplied from an upper opening of the metal mold 26. In this course, the post holes 22 are formed in the sealing resin 8, as shown in FIG. 6, by post-forming portions 29 formed in the metal mold 26 shown in FIG. 5. The posts 18 are formed by such a method as a high-speed Cu plating in the post holes 22. The above-described process manufactures the semiconductor device 20 shown in FIG. 2.

It should be noted that the posts 18 can be formed not only by the high-speed Cu plating, but also by a CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition) method, a sputtering method, and the like. In addition, the posts 18 can be formed by filling the post holes 22 with a solder ball and a solder paste after the formation of the post holes 22.

FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view of a semiconductor device according to a second embodiment of the present invention. A semiconductor device 20a shown in FIG. 7 is manufactured by the manufacturing processes described with reference to FIG. 3-FIG. 4 and FIG. 5-FIG. 6, and further comprises solder balls 6 a as external terminals each formed on the end (the second connecting portion) of the post 18 exposed on the outer surface 8 a of the sealing resin 8. Forming the solder balls 6a on the posts 18 can increase a reliability in mounting the semiconductor device.

FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view of a semiconductor device according to a third embodiment of the present invention. A semiconductor device 20 b shown in FIG. 8 has posts 18 a and posts 18 b. The posts 18 a are formed in the manufacturing process described with reference to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 so that each of the posts 18 a has a height smaller than the thickness of the sealing resin 8 (lower than the outer surface 8 a). After the formation of the posts 18 a, metal molds having post-forming portions as show in FIG. 5 are arranged on and under the semiconductor device, and then the sealing resin 8 is supplied in the metal molds so as to form post holes 30 shown in FIG. 8. Then, the posts 18 b are formed in the post holes 30 by such a method as a high-speed Cu plating. The post 18 a and the post 18 b are formed so as to have different cross-sectional areas. Thereby, the two posts as a whole can be formed to have a smaller impedance so as to increase the operating speed of the semiconductor device. Additionally, in a case where the post 18 b has a smaller cross-sectional area than the post 18 a, as show in FIG. 8, and the post 18 b is formed after the formation of the post 18 a by such a method as filling a solder paste, a time required to form the post 18 b can be greatly shortened. Besides, a connection area between the post 18 a and the electrode pattern 10 can be made large so as to make the semiconductor device more reliable.

A semiconductor device 20 c shown in FIG. 9 has solder balls 6 b each mounted on the post 18 b of the semiconductor device 20 b shown in FIG. 8. Providing thus the solder balls 6 b as external terminals each on an end (a second connecting portion) of the post 18 b exposed on the outer surface of the sealing resin 8 can increase a reliability in mounting the semiconductor device. In addition, the posts 18 a are formed beforehand by such a method as a Cu plating so as to provide an enough height to mount the solder ball 6 b on the post 18 b without supplementing a solder paste.

The posts 18 c are formed by such a method as a high-speed Cu plating. Forming thus the posts 18 c on the surface of the semiconductor chip 4 expands a degree of freedom in positioning the posts 18 c.

A semiconductor device 20 e shown in FIG. 11 has solder balls 6 c each mounted on the post 18 c of the semiconductor device 20 d shown in FIG. 10. Providing thus the solder balls 6 c on the posts 18 c can increase a reliability in mounting the semiconductor device. It is noted here that the manner of forming the posts as shown in FIG. 10 and FIG. 11 is applicable to both a fan-out structure and a fan-in structure.

A semiconductor device unit (package) 20 f shown in FIG. 12 has a plurality of the semiconductor devices shown in FIG. 2 stacked on one another so as to form a unit. The plurality of the semiconductor devices 20 can be mounted on one another by connecting the solder ball 6 of one of the semiconductor devices 20 with a connection end-surface 32 of the post 18 of another semiconductor device 20. This structure and the mounting method are effective, for example, in increasing the capacity of a semiconductor element of such a memory IC as a DRAM or a flash memory with a small packaging area.

FIG. 13 is a cross-sectional view of a semiconductor device unit (package) according to a sixth embodiment of the present invention. In a semiconductor device unit (package) 20 g shown in FIG. 13, joints 35 connect a package of the stacked semiconductor devices with a shield 34. The shield 34 is connected to the posts 18 of the semiconductor device. Each of the posts 18 is electrically connected to a solder ball 6 d. The solder balls 6 d are grounded. Thereby, the shield 34 shields an external noise and an internal noise so as to reduce noises influencing the semiconductor device unit 20 g and thus increase a reliability of the semiconductor device unit 20 g. In addition, the shield 34 can be provided not only for the package of the stacked semiconductor devices but also for a single package of the semiconductor device.

FIG. 14 is a cross-sectional view of a semiconductor device according to a seventh embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 15 is a plan view of an antenna 36 provided for the semiconductor device according to the seventh embodiment of the present invention. In a semiconductor device 20 h shown in FIG. 14, joints 38 connect the posts 18 and the antenna 36. As shown in FIG. 15, in the antenna 36, a couple of the joints 38 are connected to each other by a wiring. Connecting thus the antenna 36 to the posts 18 of the semiconductor device 20 h enables an IC card, an ITS (Intelligent Transport System) and the like to send and receive a radio signal.

A semiconductor device 20 j shown in FIG. 17 has the posts 18 shown in FIG. 2 each connected electrically to the solder ball 6 and the posts 18 c shown in FIG. 10 formed on the semiconductor chip 4. Additionally, the semiconductor device 20 j has a heat sink 42 connected to the posts 18 and the posts 18 c by joints 44. Providing thus the heat sink 42 enables emitting a heat generated in the semiconductor device 20 j so as to prevent a temperature rise in the semiconductor device.

This enables emitting a heat generated in the semiconductor device effectively. It should be noted that the semiconductor chip 4 a does not necessarily have to function electrically, and thus can be replaced by a dummy element for reducing a thermal resistance of the semiconductor device.
